Is Cataract Surgery Better in Winter? Should You Avoid It in Summer?
1 month ago
Many people say cataract surgery should be done in winter, not summer. What's your opinion on avoiding surgery in summer?
Answers (1)
This belief comes from old times when surgery required 40 days bed rest, no bathing, and complete isolation to prevent infection. People waited for winter to avoid sweat and bathing restrictions.
Today’s modern cataract surgery has changed everything. Recovery is instant patients go home same day, shower normally, and resume life immediately.
Weather doesn’t matter anymore. Whether heavy rains, scorching summer, or harsh winter get surgery anytime at your convenience. Success rate remains 100% regardless of season
